M'sia’s Batu Caves Called “Outram Park Caves” In Viral Post

Ever heard of Outram Park Caves? According to one viral video, such a place exists. 

The clip, shared by @sgmustwatchla, features the Batu Caves, a popular sightseeing destination in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Except the caption read: “10 minutes walk from Outram Park MRT to admire the Batu at Caves?...🤯😫🧐 ⛰️: super epic with that waterfall🤯”

Sorry, what?!

The clip was later reposted on Heritage SG Memories Facebook group, drawing reactions that ranged from amused to confused to angry.

“I’ve stayed in Singapore for 46 years and I didn’t know we had this place,” read one snarky comment, while other netizens urged the original poster to “stop misleading tourists”. 

There were also those who played along, calling it “one of the wonders of Singapore”.  

One netizen even attached a picture of the Pyramids of Giza with this sarcastic caption: “Oh that? It connects to the Great Pyramids of Marina Bay. Have a look.”

Some did find the video “hilarious”, asserting that the original video was “satire” and simply made for laughs. Others also suspected it was a “troll video”, made to garner views and elicit reaction from people.
